Orthodox Pro is a companion for anyone walking into an Orthodox church, whether for the first time or the thousandth. It was built for catechumens, for people visiting a parish whose language they do not speak, and for anyone who wants to know what today asks of them. TODAY The fasting rule for the day, in plain words, with what is allowed and whose rule it is. The daily Epistle and Gospel, the readings of a feast, and the Matins Gospel, each opening to the full passage. The saints commemorated, with lives for the better known. Walk forward to Sunday or back to yesterday. Old and New Calendar, your choice. CHURCHES Orthodox parishes in all fifty states, from every jurisdiction, on a map that groups them as you zoom out and opens them as you zoom in. Search by name, town or state. Each parish page has the address, phone, website, a view of the building from the street, whether it is a rented hall rather than a church building, and its service times where they could be found. The map never asks where you are until you press the button that says so. Choose your own parish and Today shows its week: what is served, when, and what each day is called. The directory is built from each jurisdiction's own listings and each parish's own website, and every entry has been checked. Sources do not always agree, so a parish may be missing or a detail wrong. If you are travelling any distance, telephone ahead, and tell us through Report a problem. LITURGY The full Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom with the original alongside the English, in Greek or Church Slavonic. Priest, deacon, and choir parts are marked so you always know who is speaking and what comes next. The hymns of the day, with the tone, and a line at the top saying which Liturgy is actually being served: St Basil's ten times a year, the Presanctified on the Wednesdays and Fridays of Lent, and the days on which none is served at all. HOMILY When the sermon is in a language you do not speak, turn on the translator. It listens and shows an English translation on your screen as the priest speaks. Everything happens on your phone. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. BIBLE The whole Orthodox Bible, including the books of the Septuagint that other Bibles leave out: Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, the Maccabees, the Prayer of Manasseh, and the rest. Search the text, highlight a verse, write a note on it, and follow a reading plan: the Psalter by kathisma, the Gospels, or the New Testament in a year. PRAYER The morning and evening prayers, the prayers before and after Communion, prayers for particular needs, and a hundred and eight akathists. Keep the rule your priest actually gave you. Keep a prayer list of the living and the departed. Prepare for confession, and write down what you mean to say, behind Face ID and never leaving your phone. LEARN Short articles on what a catechumen actually needs: what to say and when, what the words mean, the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Jesus Prayer, incense, icons, vestments, how a church is laid out, and how the Church came to be where it is. A day-by-day guide to Holy Week and Pascha. Each ends with the questions to bring to your priest. A searchable catalogue of the saints. SOCIAL Orthodox news in English, Russian, Serbian, Romanian and Greek, each outlet labeled with who publishes it. Events people travel to: retreats, pilgrimages, conferences, lectures. A discussion board with a moderator. The app's own headings and buttons read in English, Russian, Greek, Romanian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, or Arabic. The text size is yours to set, and the screen can be turned down for a dark church. Orthodox Pro shows no advertisements and does not track you. Tips are optional and unlock nothing.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Code at none against Orthodox Pro's 7. Orthodox Pro's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
